Owls, Aggies and Kats hit the road for NCAA tournament

It has been a long time since there were no NCAA baseball regionals in the state of Texas. But with Rice not earning a host site, the road to Omaha is just that. It's on the road.

The 41-17 Owls have come on of late, but not enough to earn a Reckling regional so the C-USA champs will pack their bags for the long flight to Eugene, Oregon.

The Owls the No. 2 seed there. They'll take on San Francisco Friday at 4pm. Oregon and South Dakota State at 8pm.

The Aggies turned some heads with their upset of No. 1 Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament. Texas A&M is in the NCAA tournament for the seventh straight year.

The Aggies will start in Corvallis, Oregon. A&M takes on UC Santa Barbara Friday. Oregon St against UTSA is the night game.

The Sam Houston State Bearkats, regular season Southland champs, have the short trip over to Baton Rouge. The Kats join LSU, Jackson State and their first game opponent, Louisiana-Lafayette in the Baton Rouge regional.
